MOSCOW: Russia says its target of exporting weapons worth billions of dollars in 2015 will be met despite the Western sanctions imposed on Moscow over the crisis in Ukraine.
The plan for the export of armaments worth about USD 15 billion this year will undoubtedly be fulfilled,” said Anatoly Isaikin, the chief of Russia’s state-run arms agency, Rosoboronexport, on Sunday.
We outperformed our planned indicators under the program of military output deliveries last year and we’ll fulfill this year’s program as well,” he added.
Isaikin made the remarks at the IDEX-2015 International Defense Exhibition in the United Arab Emirates’ capital city of Abu Dhabi.
